Les défis de l’accession à l’Union européenne pour l’Europe
post-communiste
David R. cameron
The imminent enlargement of the EU to as many as twenty-seven
member states in the near future will pose severe budgetary, administrative,
and operational challenges for the current member states. However, the
challenges of enlargement, as great as they are, pale in comparison with the
challenges of accession that will be faced by the new member states, especially
those which until a decade ago were governed by Communist parties that presided
over centrally-planned and predominantly collectivized economies. This paper
explores five of the most critical challenges that will face the new member
states of post-Communist Europe: 1) administering the acquis; 2) deepening and
extending the reform and transformation of the economy; 3) reducing the high
levels of unemployment and large government, trade, and current account
deficits; 4) financing accession in the face of the EU’s budgetary constraints
and financial provisions; and 5) coping with all of those challenges in the
face of low levels of support for enlargement in a number of the current member
states and high levels of ambivalence about membership in most of the candidate
countries.
